The First Lady Cites Jesus Christ As An Example

You believe what you want to about them, and I'll believe what I believe.

How cowardly.

Satan deceived Eve by taking liberty with the Word of God.


The Bible lays the groundwork for a government providing for her citizens.

"Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto God what is God's."

Is it not fit for the government to look out for the poor, widows, orphans, elderly, infirmed, and even the stranger?

Would it be right for America to shell out billions of dollars to help the citizens of other nations and spend ZERO on helping her own citizens?

You and I interpret the Scripture differently. I see it just how I interpreted it, however you subtly want to personally attack me by parralleling my interpretation of Scripture with Satan in the garden. That is why dialogue with you is not productive... because you make it personal... as you did there.

And no, it is NOT FIT for government to look out for the poor, widows, orphans, elderly, infirmed or the stranger.... or to shell out billions to help citizens of other nations.... NEITHER is appropriate, and NEITHER is within the constitutional or Biblical mandate for Government.

Romans 13 limits the role of government, as well does the Constitution. The role of benevolence is not a governmental role, but a responsibility of individuals and the church.

Talk about someone making a person sick!!!

Already standing in the gap... volunteer at the Rescue Mission here in Nashville, as well as financially supporting children's homes and orphanages. Would not be appropriate for me to adopt a child... I"m single, and orphans should only be adopted by male/female parental families.

So I suggest before you assume I'm a proponent of standing in the gap by word only, you ask first... as my actions, and my finances back my assertions.

Bro. Robbins,
I apologize for comparing you to Satan.

That is exactly what I did, I knew it when I did it. I did it in jest and thought that it would have been clear.

The attempt to not get personal, and to also maintain unity and one mind and accord may be cowardly in your mind... but I wouldn't expect anything less as you desire to resort to personal attacks... like this one... than to provide dialogue that builds up the Kingdom.

What is the purpose, or good of the kingdom that would come of further arguing between me and my brother? He stated his viewpoint and I stated mine. Neither of us are going to change our minds... so why continue? That certainly can't bring about any glory for the Kingdom of God...

As a matter of fact, as he continued, he had to resort to making a character attack on me, instead of keeping it to the matters at hand....

So if you see where someone says, this will not benefit the kingdom and has the potential of hurting both of our witnesses as cowardly, go right ahead. I and God know my heart and my intent.

Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace

I accept your apology. There were no emoticons, no one can assume anything, but only take on face value.

Well I happen to think that it is a good thing that our government has programs in place to help the people in discussion.

Maybe too much is money is spent on these programs at times.
Maybe these programs could be tweaked to be more efficient.
Still, our government does well to look out for her citizens.

Then you and I will never see eye to eye brother. I respect your point of view, and hope you will respect mine. I do not believe that is the role government should play at all... I stand completely opposed to it.

blessings to you.

So growing up in an orphanage or being passed between foster homes is better than being adopted by a loving, single parent? Wow. Who knew...

She doesn't see where the Scriptures preach personal responsibility, keeping the government to it's God given duty, as a restrainer of evil, and that it's the job of the church to stand in the gap with benevolence, not some governmental entity.

She makes me almost as sick as her husband does.... I respect the office, and pray for it, but have very little tolerance for either of them.

This!!! ^^^

She worships a Jesus of her own mental creation. They leave hell out when discussing Jesus, though he mentioned hell more than heaven.
